How about the ISP's connection? do they have any problems down their end?
All the necessary green lights on the modem are up and solid?
Have you set the DLink router to its correct WAN setting? (Dynamic/Static IP addresses, PPoPE, others etc)
Is it all websites or just a select few that you have trouble with?

The best way right now is to connect directly using the modem and testing that it works (the i.net). Then you can add the router to the mix and any other devices..

im connected at the moment via the moment to the isp and everything is fine. All websites i can't connect to it says ping timed out. which is strange because the router connects to the modem fine using the dynamic ip which is what i use to use anyway ( routers power supply was recently replaced due to the old one being buggered )

The router connects to the modem and the modem connecs to the isp. i thought it would have been something to do with not connecting to the modem but all is working so i dont know whats wroung the mtu is set at 1400 on the router erm running out of ideas what it could be now so

1400 is to low if dsl try 1492
go to dslreports.com and do tests check mss this helps set the mtuhttp://www.internetweekly.org/llarrow/mtumss.html <--- here for mtuwww.speedguide.net/ < ----lots of help to set nic
check modem make sure it's not a combo modem router
if it is use bridging mode for the modem
set the nic's to static ip's ,don't worry bout the dns yet, can you access router
check router status for dns wan ip's should have good external numbers
your provider will give you help here ,if you don't see them try a reset ,small hole in back of router ,do a release /renew on router

i tried and still no luck i was told before that aol dosent take anything above 1400 and my connection is adsl

i am really stuck now i have no idea what the smeg is wroung like i said everything is more or less the same asit used to be but i lost the screen dumps of my settings but i think everything is set to how it was btw i use the router for wireless connection and i have disabled all security just to test and i am stil not having any luck getting to any site always says time out ping failed bah
